It`s been raining here
I can smell it in the air
And I love this southern city like I spent my childhood there
It is inevitable that we will soon be saying our goodbyes
But I`ll always have your skyline in my eyes
I have loved and lost all around your city blocks
And the years have gone and painted me
like leaves against the rocks
And in my haste to make a new life where I`m going I don`t know
I will turn around and wave then I am gone
And as those big jet engines ignite
And take me over the mountains alone I`m in flight
I think of the love in my life
I look out on the night and I am gone
Way up here it all is clear and I`m not afraid
of living with these tears
Way up here it all is clear and I`m not afraid
of living in these years
I have watched my friends scatter out across the land
And I wonder if I`ll live so long to see them all again
And if I don`t well it don`t matter they will love me all the same
For the hearts that I love most remain unchanged
I have dreamed of a time when I`d leave this all behind
But I thought that I`d be stronger or I hoped that I`d be blind
But now I know that I am neither and it hurts to say goodbye
I will always have your skyline in my eyes
And as those big jet engines ignite
And take me over the mountains alone I`m in flight
I think of the love in my life
I look out on the night and I am gone
Way up here it all is clear and I`m not afraid
of living with these tears
Way up here it all is clear and I`m not afraid
of living in these years
So clear
Oh all is clear
All is clear
All is clear
